    There is money in this fight but to do any numbers it has to be in the UK.

    There is deffo a mole @ Matchroom lol

    Anyway, Beterbiev-Yarde is still my FOTY so far, and I can't wait to see this

    Hope Callum gets smashed. Have zero patience for shill scum blowing Smiff up to be this destroyer at 175 for beating a faded guy and a European-level guy

    Callum's best win is an injured Groves. Ryder will win more rounds against Canelo than Smiff did this Saturday. Beterbiev breaks him down like everyone else not named Bivol

    Smith needs to try and blast him with a good shot early on. If he just tries to survive like he did against Canelo Beterbiev will maul him and stop him.

    Hope Beterbiev wins.

    Never really taken to Smith.Thought he lost to Ryder and didn’t like way he fought Canelo at all. Biggest fight of his life and he just didn’t go for it.

    Good. The less chance for any Matchroom trickery to try to rob Artur, the better.

    Beterbiev is going to crush this clown. Will be competitive for a few rounds then Artur takes him out.

    I was really hoping this would be in the Middle East so Beterbiev would get paid well at least.

    Top Rank fail to realise that this guy has a huge Caucus and Muslim fanbase and need to match him properly so he can have his "Khabib vs McGregor" moment.

    Then what happened to Smith Jr will happen to Callum Smith.

    Smith needs to box and pick his shots, trying to go in there against Beter and blast him out is a recipe for disaster. He has the height and reach advantage and needs to use it.

    Yeah I mean to blast him with a good shot early on not to try and just take him out that is a suicide mission. I just don't want to see Smith standing there doing nothing like he did in the Canelo fight.

    We’ve seen what happens when people try taking Beterbiev out from the first bell, it never ends well
